There wils once "a woman who found
herself suddenly thrown on her own re
source. Fortunately, the resources were
there. She sold aJl that had made her
Ufa beautiful and decorative and took
the proceeds to buy useful things that In
turn she might sell these and earn a
livelihood therewith.
Out of the wreck she kept but one ex
pensive thing- very beautiful and won
derful fur coat which her husband had
riven her In the days before Ms life and
his fortune had terminated abruptly.
The woman had a little baby to sup
port and the only mana she found avail
able was to so up to the wilds of Canada
and Introduce a line of knit food to the
shopkeepers there. The fur coat, she
felt, would save her from colds and
pneumonia which might endanger her
own life and so her baby's means of
support and life as well.
Besides, she was quits sura that the
charming appearance the fur coat would
enable her to make, however cheaply she
was clad underneath, would be distinctly
an asset to her business.
j no ursi town to wnlcn she cams
housed a Urge store which her employer
had told her was rood for a thousand
dollar order and a 10 per cent commis
sion to her. She went In to see the pro.
pnetor. and could not quits decide
whether he admired her sweaters and
shawls and baby jackets or whether his
admiration was M for her beautiful fur
coat
Finally, after he had examined her
Koods thoroughly, he told her to re
turn the next day when he would have
made his choice between her line and
that of a competitor. The woman had
no doubt of success, for the competitor's
In was Inferior In quality and equal In
price.
The next day shs returned, confident
of success. Bald the kindly proprietor

This report contains much food for

' with common experience and observa
tion. Also, because It gives a tip to
every wife who has sense enough to
take one, on how to keep her husband
happy and eontented. and from wishing

For, believe me, dear ladles, not every
man Is a wire deserter who would like
to be one, or who at various time has
contemplated being one. So your danger
Is greater than you think. ad It's up to
you to take out a little be. stand Insur
ance by taking to heart the garnered
wisdom of this report on the why of
wife desertion.
The first thing about It that strikes
one Is that It turns a searchlight on the

to Keep a Husband
exceeding humanness of husbands which
Is a thing that the average woman never
takes Into consideration. She regards a
husband as either a little tin god or a
brute. She expects him to be either a
iupmian who will not be lrrltatt-d by
hr own fullle and weaknesses, or notice
whether the cooking Is good or bud. or
else she suts him down as a mean.
grouchy tyrant who will find fault no
matter what she does.
All this Is far and away from the
truth. The average husband Is just a
plain, everyday sort of a man, who wants
things comfurtabls at home, who desires
to be met when he comes home at nUht
by a bright, cheerful, chummy vile, who

this report means.
liefore marriage, beauty and grace and
fine clothes may attract a man, but
after marriage It Is good nature, and
sympathy, and chserful companionship

danger of rosing hers.
For my part I have never blamed the
man who was married to k vixen and
whose whole life wss spent to an accom
paniment of recrimination and reproaches
from leaving her.
Also I have ever felt that when a man
gets a wife so laxy and trifling that she
will not learn to cook and keep house
decently that the law should give him
the right to dump her back on her par
ents, on the ground that they have
palmed off an Inferior grade of goods on

That more men do riot do this, and that
so many men stick by the bad matri
monial bargains they Lave made and go
en enduring a married life that Is an
earthly purgatory, when there are a
doxen railroad trains out of every city
on which they could fade away and leave
j their miseries behind them. Is one of
the greatest proofs of the Inherent no
bility of humanity thst I know. But It's
one that wives should not take too many
liberties with.
There Is one other significant point In
the Welfare Research committee's report
on the wife deserter that should be a
comfort to poor women and that Is that
the lack of money often means the cxn
tlnued possession of a husband. For one
thing, the very struggle that a poor
couple make to get along brings them
very close together and gives them a
mutual Intereat that holds a family In
tact. For another, the man who has not
money to spend Is out of ths sons of
temptatioo of the adventuresses, who
pursue every rich man; so ths poor
woman stands a better chance of hold
ing her husband than the rich one.
On the whole, the report of the Wel
fare committee la full of hope, for It
shows thst ail that a woman aa to do
to keep her husband Is to be cheerful
and amiable herself, and feed him well,
and keep him poor. All of which any

But there Is an Indirect method of

stars, which gives some very Interest

the relative distance and tha relative
brightness we can determine the actual
amount of light emitted by any star
whose distance Is measurable by using
the sun as a standard. To Illustrate

To our eyes Birlus appears about five
times as bright as Capelia. but this Is
an illusory superiority, due to the fact
that Capelia Is much more distant than
Slrlus. If they were at an equal dis
tance Capelia would far outshine Slrlus.

shows that the light of the sun, at the
distance of Slrlus, would be reduced to
only one 2$0-thousand-m.Ulionth of Its

distance, gives one t-thousand-mllllonth

sTo form some Idea of the slxe of the
stars, or the area of their surfaces, we
must begin by making an assumption
concerning their surface brightness as
compared with that of the sun, per unit
area. Suppose, for simplicity's sake, that
we assume thst the arrlount of light
emitted from each square mile of Slrlus
is the same as that from each square
nine oi me sun. Then, since tna total
luminosity of Slrlus is 0 times the sun's,
and since the areas of circles vary as the
square root of 40, which Is about H
one of the circles, the disk of Slrlus, Is
40 times greater In area than the other),
the daineter of Slrlus must be the
square root of 40, which la about ( 1-1
times the diameter of the sun. This
would matks Slrlus about f.i&.OUO miles In
diameter. But there are many reasons
for thinking that the luminosity of the
surface of Slrlus, area per area. Is much
greater than that of the suns surface,
so that It la probable that It exoeeds
the sun In slxe fsr less than the caioula

In the case of Capelia, however, we
have a star whose constitution appears
to resemble very closely that of the
sun, and we can. with mora eonftdenoe,
make the assumption that Its surfaos
brilliance equals the sun's per unit area.
Then, applying the . same calculation
again, we find thst tha dl
ella should be the square root of 9U0

In tout luminosity) times the diameter
of the sun. The square root of M Is
about 14. which makes the Boaaible
